opeaceo:
How come your only constants are pain and it's derivatives/synonyms?? Why not Happiness, Love, Peace?

And it seems you're cértain that every one fears death. I'll keep my opinion to myself this time. #lipssealed

KingAdegoke:
love? happiness? peace? those are variables really. they are illusions. especially love. it's all deception.

opeaceo:


Correct me if I'm wrong, you're saying pain is the only constant in life?

KingAdegoke:
correct. the variables are nothing but variables. pretence.

opeaceo:


Your analysis is kinda skewed.

KingAdegoke:
yes it is skewed. for anyone who finds it awkward at first. I was once in same situation. I went through hell to liberate myself. I believe you can be liberated and live a life with fear.

oh what a pitiful world we live in. humans caged by mere knowledge of psychological bully.

if you wish I can talk to you privately and share idea. am sure you'll be saved.

opeaceo:


It was awkward, it is awkward, it would be awkward and it would forever be awkward.

naaa, I don't like such "ideas" to be shared privately.

KingAdegoke:

i thought as much,you're just a beginner;a wanna be critical thinker,you're not yet there, this particular post reveal it all..
When i started the journey,i stop seeing mountain as mountain,river was no longer river until i found that which i was seeking then i see mountain as mountain again river as river.
In other word,when my noodles started towards the path of critical thinking,nothing no longer seem real untill i found the wisdom i was seeking which i call God..
You wont agree with me now but you'll remember this when you find YOU!

Didn't you say fear is a kind of pain and that pain is life's one, unchangeable constant ? How come you're also saying someone can live a life without fear? If one can live a life without fear and fear is a kind of pain, then there must be a remedy to all the other types of pain that are not fear, don't you think?

KingAdegoke:
Lolz please point out the part I said there's no God. don't be ridiculous.

OFMISAT9T:

now,you point out where i accuse you of saying there's no God. You'r confused but dont worry confusion precede conviction..

Bytheway,you can have the lasts word,it's your post,'m done here..

KingAdegoke:
Every living being or organism is created to survive. and by survive i mean to strife to attain comfort as against pain.

Before I go further I’ll talk about these concepts I thought of myself. The concept of constants and variables. These concepts give birth to the two main drivers of human actions and in-actions. Pain and comfort.

What are constants?: these are things in life that are certain, always present, these are things that can never be quenched. These constants bring pain to every living organisms or beings. By pain I mean negative emotions which is mostly psychological.

What are variables?: these are things we use to service the constants in order to feel comfortable by suppressing the constants(pains). Which of cos will never permanent as it is only but a variable. Because the constants are the real owners of reality, variables are illusions that create pleasures thereby making us forget about our pains or worries.

ILLUSTRATION OF CONSTANT VS VARIABLE

HUNGER: Hunger comes from pain. Pain of the stomach. Pain to feed. When we eat(variable), we only service this pain thereby making food a variable. Which means the pain never dies, continuous servicing of this pain by eating keeps us alive, hopeful, etc..

KNOWLEDGE: to know is to learn. And every end of a question will surely give rise to more questions. The intelligence level of humans 5,000 years ago cannot be compared to that of today. Those days they worshiped the stars, moon and even the sun, then people came and asked who put them there. Many say evolution, many say God. Then more questions came. Who is this God. And who put him as God. Who started the big bang? More questions which has troubled humanity and cause us pains of uncertainty which of cos can never be solved because pain is constant.

DEATH: Death as we know is constant. Which most people see as aweful. We humans are so obsessed with life(Variable) that the thought of death makes us fear(pain). We cant even imagine being 6 feet. To us being alive is the real deal. We are soaked in pride that we have given a meaning to the movie of life. This is peculiar to religious people. Old age death, paradise, Happily ever after in heaven singing kumbaya, that is done cos they know they cant escape death no matter what so that serves as a comfort for that “aweful” certainty of the thought(pain) of death.

AFTER LIFE: This is a pain in the arss of wiser organisms or species which of cos its we humans, goats don’t care, chickens don’t care, beds don’t care. Their knowledge base is not up to that level to start asking such questions. only we humans do that. so we must comfort ourselves with one theory or the other. This is the most debated one. Everybody wants to pitch tent with a group just to feel comfortable depending on personality, environment or conviction. Christians say heaven and hell, mansions and all that, muslims say same. Bhuddist say nirvana, atheist say death is the last bus stop. Everyone trying to be comfortable in the midst of a constant pain(misery), oh and the religious people have extra pain attached in the concept of hell fire lolz. That’s one very seductive pain that ties the minds and even torment the mind of those who do not even have affiliation with religion. Even after one breaks from religion that pain still pops out once a while. in a sick bed. A pastor who has supposedly lived his life good will still have a pinch of doubt in his mind about the heaven and hell story he has fed his congregation. The pain never dies


So it seems everybody religious, irreligious, theist or atheist are just doing same thing. Fighting our pain. Arguing our way to convincing ourselves about the misery of after life. All in a bid to be comfortable psychologically.

Conclusion

I put this in religion section because religion entertains the most strongest pain(misery of life and after life) in human history till date. now think and understand the psychological drive of every ideology and every fight we take. theist or atheist. my greatest pain has been to educate people about why we do the things we do. and as for religious people who might come to blackmail me with hell fire(pains) dont bother i have gone a great percentage past that fear.

ValentineMary:


A very brilliant work I must say but for the bold post I disagree.

Because we can't solve something now does not mean we never would. As a philosopher once said science would progrees from asking how to asking why. This shows that as we progress we ans most of these qus.

DeSepiero:


Following the OPs analogy, fear isn't necessarily the pain. Fear results from knowledge of the pain.

Eg. If death is a pain, one gets afraid by knowing that its inevitable.

DeSepiero:
I got your message KingAdegoke.
I understand your point though you didn't pass it across perfectly. Using your analogy, I'd like you to bring in the concept of 'knowledge' in the Constant - Variable equation.
